This Gold Rush Alaskan Mining Prospecting Coin with an affixed gold nugget has been minted in pure silver in the historic Comstock Mining District in Dayton, NV. The design features a real gold nugget taken from the Alaskan wilds and the tools used to unearth gold like it - the pick, shovel, pan, header frame, front end loader, mine cart, and pneumatic drill (aka "widow maker"). The reverse of the coin features the GOLD RUSH TV show logo. This Gold Rush Alaskan Mining Prospecting Coin with a gold nugget includes a Certificate of Authenticity from Northwest Territorial Mint and a GOLD RUSH story card.

The silver coin is beautiful. Great detail , but the gold nugget is not even a third the size of the one pictured in the add. Very misleading and disappointing since this is for my young son who is an avid "Gold Rush" fan.

I got 2 of these coins as a fan of the show, and also as an avid coin collector. Something that the description doesn't tell you is that the coin is 1 troy ounce of silver (it is in the little info packet that comes with the coin). Like the other reviewers, the piece of gold is smaller than the one in the picture.
